THE WEDDING DANCE ETIQUETTE

Dancing at your reception is a lovely way to bring an air of elegance and family togetherness to a wonderfully happy and joyous occasion.

  • Traditionally, the bride and groom will be the first to dance as their special song is played softly with lights dimmed to create a romantic atmosphere.
  • As the music continues to play, the father of the bride will cut in on the groom and dance with his daughter. The groom asks the bride's mother to join him in a dance and together they grace the dance floor.
  • The groom's father then cuts in on the bride's father and dances with the bride himself. The bride's father will then cut in on the groom and dance with his wife.
  • The groom will then ask his mother to dance. Following this, the parents exchange dances with the other couple.
  • The best man then comes out to ask the bride to dance and the groom will dance with the maid or matron of honour.
  • Finally, the entire wedding party, ushers and bridesmaids join in the festivities.
  • Once the entire bridal party and their parents are on the dance floor, the other guests are invited to dance.

    If you have a wedding or party to go to soon and need to learn to dance in a hurry, then our 6 Week Special Occasion Course is for you!.
